STARZ Shares Outlander Season 4 Photo of Claire and [SPOILER]

This damn Droughtlander may be the worst yet in the wait for STARZ series Outlander season 4 fans. Thankfully, the official Outlander Twitter account knows how much the fans want to be teased with images, so they obliged today.

If you are unfamiliar with what happens in book 4 of Diana Gabaldon‘s series, the Frasers find themselves in the Americas in “Drums of Autumn”. Theoretically, season 4 of the series will follow suit, judging from the ending of season 3 and the teases we’ve gotten so far.

One of the fan-favorite characters making his debut (or in this case, their debut) in season 4 will be Rollo, steadfast canine companion to Ian Murray, Jamie’s nephew. He wins the beast in a card game, and Rollo becomes a very important part of the clan.

The role is being played by a pair of pups, who have grown into big giant beautiful creatures.

Today the official Outlander account shared a photo of Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) with Rollo, and it’s everything I was hoping for.

Caitriona looks so great with the signature Claire streak in her hair, and can we just talk about how great Rollo looks? How perfect! This tease makes me incredibly happy as a fan of the books (and the show).

Season 4 cannot get here soon enough, we’re expecting news of a release date sometime soon. Early reports have it returning “sometime in the fall” of 2018.

Bleeding Cool News Editor Mary Anne Butler (Mab, for short) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), and most recently Bleeding Cool.

Over the past 10 years, she’s built a presence at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always).

Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
